Suge Knight, the record mogul who drove the black BMW in which rap legend Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in Las Vegas 27 years ago, told TMZ<\/em> he knows who the real murderer was. And it was not<\/em> South Side Crips gang member Orlando Anderson, who was long suspected of the historic crime.<\/p>\n

Last week, Las Vegas Metro arrested Duane \u201cKeffe D\u201d Davis<\/a>, a 60-year-old former member of the South Side Crips street gang, charging him with murder with use of a deadly weapon. The charge is based on Davis having orchestrated the murder and supplied the gun, not firing it himself.<\/p>\n

The killer was long believed to be Anderson, Davis\u2019 nephew, to whom Davis even admitted passing the murder weapon<\/a> in a book he self-published in 2019. (Anderson was killed in another gang shooting in 1998.)<\/p>\n

However, in Nevada, a murder charge can apply to anyone aiding or abetting in a murder.<\/p>\n

And the Real Murderer Was…<\/h2>\n

TMZ <\/em>reported that \u201cSuge made it clear he\u2019ll never say.\u201d However, another South Side Crips member did<\/em> say.<\/p>\n

\n

When a Las Vegas grand jury questioned their anonymous informant last week, he fingered DeAndre Smith, another Crips member who rode in the back seat of the infamous white Cadillac and Anderson as Davis sat in the passenger seat and Terrence Brown drove.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen [Davis] passed the firearm to Orlando, Orlando didn\u2019t have a clear shot,\u201d the gang member told the grand jury. \u201cBig Dre is six-six. At this time, he\u2019s 370, 400.\u00a0 He\u2019s big. And you\u2019re not going to be able … to reach over a guy like that because shells would have been popping all in Big Dre\u2019s face and all kind of stuff. He can\u2019t bend down or anything. He\u2019s too big.\u201d<\/p>\n

Knight Won’t Testify<\/h2>\n

Knight told TMZ<\/em> he will refuse to testify in Davis\u2019 murder trial if called because — regardless of what Davis has confessed to in interviews or police stations — he \u201cwon\u2019t ever say a bad word about the man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Knight spoke to TMZ <\/em>from the RJ Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, where he is serving a 28-year sentence for a fatal 2015 hit-and-run.<\/p>\n

Of the six people involved in the historic shooting — four in the white Cadillac and two in the targeted black BMW — Knight and Davis are the only ones still alive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The murder is believed to be in retaliation for a beatdown Tupac\u2019s crew — who were affiliated with a rival Compton, Calif. gang, the Mob Piru Bloods — delivered to Anderson just hours before Shakur\u2019s murder, in the lobby of the MGM Grand following a Mike Tyson fight.<\/p>\n

Davis is being held without bail. He is expected to appear in court Wednesday for his arraignment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
